It is common for babies between 9 and 14 months to show less interest in breastfeeding. This is likely due to distractions from noticing new things area him/her or if the baby is teething.

Some of my friends described that it was clear their babies just weren’t interested and most took place after their babies were over one-year old. They also mentioned that there were periods where their babies were younger (less than one year of age) and went on nursing strikes for a couple of days, but went back to breastfeeding after that.
